| Knight Rider KITT gets stolen during publicity event The car was being unloaded from its transport trailer for a crowd of onlookers. When its handler turned her back for a moment, a man darts from the median, jumps into the still-running ride, and peels off heading East on Front Street. In the video, you see the security team member wheel the new KITT off the flatbed truck and then exit the car (still running) to return to the truck. With the door still open, some impulsive car thief ran out and hopped in the car and took off. http://www.themovieblog.com/2008/09/...len-in-toronto http://stangplanet.com/forum/pony-pr...ght-video.html

| Most likely PR... car haulers don't leave cars sitting running while they get into their truck to drive off... no reason to leave it running and no reason for him to get back into his truck unless he was leaving... just a PR stunt I'm sure. The original KITT wouldn't have let it happen. |

| mmm, must be a new KITT, cos it doesn't resemble the original one driven by David Hasselhoff and which I have seen some (prolly 10) years ago for real (some british guy has been collecting alot of movie-vehicles). And yeah, me thinks it's PR stunt too, but I don't see how this could be publicity. |

| I like the Ford GTs, but it's too big a change to be as 'charming' as the previous one |
